I have my own ideas about problems with Containers, but do you have some
references for what you mean by "known" to be broken please? Similarly, why
is rdf:List not a good idea?
Of course, the question then becomes, what do you think *should* be used? I
have a couple of practical approaches for specific circumstances, but the
semantics are lacking.
